Chapter 250

• As the days passed, Lily became completely absorbed in filming her movie. She and Jeff worked exceptionally well together—both were dedicated professionals, and their natural chemistry made every scene flow effortlessly. The director was beyond pleased with their performances, as the shooting schedule progressed without a hitch.
• However, with Ethan away on his business trip, Lily found herself feeling unusually restless. Coming home to an empty house at the end of a long day felt lonely, and she missed his presence more than she had anticipated. To keep herself company, she invited Ivy to stay over for a few days. Ivy was thrilled by the idea—she adored spending time with her sister-in-law and happily moved into Ethan’s home for the time being.
• Meanwhile, the director, impressed by the on-screen chemistry between Lily and Jeff, came up with the idea of adding a few romantic kiss scenes to the script. He first approached Jeff to discuss it, assuming he would be on board. However, to his surprise, Jeff immediately turned him down.
